I decided earlier this year that paying rent is not within my personal ethics, so i quit. My life is now infinitely more interesting and authentic.

I live minimally now, and nomadic. I'm an independent courier, minstrel, and writer. I travel from one autonomous zone to the next, building the mycelium of a new radical existence, connecting people and ideas.

On another level, this is my shamanic path. I travel to other planes and bring back gifts for my community. I explore the world of imagination, mine and everyone else's.

I have a life partner in Portland. We're polyamorous and connected to a larger tribe there. If you choose to date me, you will eventually meet my wife. This is a good thing.

I’m really good at

laughing too loudly for the situation

explaining complex hyper-dimensional thought constructs

Making eye contact.

The first things people usually notice about me

My OkCupid profile? I don't know. The first thing i usually notice in the mirror is my disheveled hair.

I don't like this question: the only thing that I could never do without is my sense of I, because it's the only thing that makes an I. Uh.. Yeah.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

death, birth, and the pointlessness of human existence. this is why i laugh so much

On a typical Friday night I am

Probably acting out of character. If you want to have an atypical Friday night I'm your man.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

I'm often not sure whether or not I'm the world's greatest liar. I worry that I've learned to fake sincerity by tricking myself into believing my own bullshit. If you do the same please contact me, we can be doubtful together.

You should message me if

You have a strong reaction to my profile. If you're "meh" then you probably haven't made it this far anyway, or else you should go find someone interesting and message them. If you like OR don't like my profile you should message me: sometimes I'm this guy and sometimes I'm not, so it's worth a shot.

And if you're reading this because you found a random or bizarre message in your inbox from me, you should know that I do that on purpose. I don't have much interest in "hi how are you", I think it's boring and unanswerable. Let's get real (and/or totally imaginary) in our conversations.
